Rubisco activase constrains the photosynthetic potential of leaves at high temperature and CO2.
Net photosynthesis (Pn) is inhibited by moderate heat stress. To elucidate the mechanism of inhibition, we examined the effects of temperature on gas exchange and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activation in cotton and tobacco leaves and compared the responses to those of the isolated enzymes. Depending on the CO(2) concentration, Pn decreased when temperatures exceed...
متن کاملOverexpression of rubisco activase decreases the photosynthetic CO2 assimilation rate by reducing rubisco content in rice leaves.
The effects of overexpression of Rubisco activase on photosynthesis were studied in transgenic rice expressing barley or maize Rubisco activase. Immunoblot and SDS-PAGE analyses showed that transgenic lines from both gene constructs expressed the foreign Rubisco activase at high levels. The activation state of Rubisco in transgenic lines was slightly higher than that in non-transgenic plants (N...
متن کاملActivation of Rubisco regulates photosynthesis at high temperature and CO2.
T enzyme Rubisco, short for ribulose1,5-bisphosphate carboxylaseyoxygenase, is the enzyme that incorporates CO2 into plants during photosynthesis. As it constitutes about 30% of the total protein in a plant leaf, Rubisco is probably the most abundant protein on earth and a major sink for plant nitrogen. Rubisco is widely accepted as the ultimate rate-limiting step in photosynthetic carbon fixat...
متن کاملThe effects of Rubisco activase on C4 photosynthesis and metabolism at high temperature.
The activation of Rubisco in vivo requires the presence of the regulatory protein Rubisco activase. This enzyme facilitates the release of sugar phosphate inhibitors from Rubisco catalytic sites thereby influencing carbamylation. T(1) progeny of transgenic Flaveria bidentis (a C(4) dicot) containing genetically reduced levels of Rubisco activase were used to explore the role of the enzyme in C(...
متن کاملPurification and assay of rubisco activase from leaves.
Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) activase protein was purified from spinach leaves by ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion exchange fast protein liquid chromatography. This resulted in 48-fold purification with 70% recovery of activity and yielded up to 18 milligrams of rubisco activase protein from 100 grams of leaves. Based on these figures, the protein comprised ap...
